The country is overwhelmingly pro-monarchy across all classes. Even among those who are anti-monarchy, Guy Fawkes would never be used as a symbol of revolution. Remember, he tried to blow up the Parliament buildings, not just the King.

In the US, to be his equivalent someone would have to try to blow up congress while the Pres is giving a speech. Not exactly the makings of a national hero.

But I did enjoy the movie V, and at least yanks know who the guy is now, even if they just think what the movie tells them to.

I'm not saying there's no class warfare, it's just not really based on opposing the monarchy. When I was a kid, there were plenty of stuffed "guys" who looked like Margaret Thatcher burned in the streets.

I understood the outrage but I always loved Maggie. Mostly because the alternative was a total lunatic fringe back then.
